Referring to Huffpost, it is said that as social media continues to evolve, the concept of presenting our ideal selves has become more and more prevalent on social platform such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others too. Why is that so?

Are we really presenting who we are in social media? Social media nowadays creates false sense of self and self-esteem trough likes, comments, fans, posts and more. Why do we become like that?

Being true to yourself can be a lot pressure from outside world as it tries to influence who you really are. It is important to you to be who you really are living in the society that is constantly developing. People will love the real you than being fake. Why do we have to be someone else to fit the society? How does it feels wearing a mask while going outside of the house, hiding our true identity to the society? What is the purpose? We exactly know what our limit as is being ourselves, and the boundaries you have set for yourself. Trying to please the society is not a good idea.
